Patricia Devlin describes herself as a stubborn and resilient woman, strengths that served her and her three brothers well through their lives. Patriciaâs parents, James and Gertrude, were shot dead by members of the Glennane Gang in 1974. They were murdered as they were driving up a country lane late at night to their home in Co Tyrone, their car riddled with bullets. A teenager, Patricia, sitting in the front passenger seat, was hit several times. She remembers the flashes, the bullets hitting her, and her surprise that the shots werenât louder. She played dead and survived. The Glennane Gang was an amalgam of Ulster Volunteer Force members who operated in Mid-Ulster in the early to mid-1970s in cooperation with some members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) and the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR), which was part of the British army. Over that period they carried out more than 120 sectarian killings. The line from loyalist paramilitaries at the time was that they âwere taking the war to the IRAâ but of the 120 victims only one had IRA connections.
